I Am More
I am more……
I am more than just a black girl who’s been used and sexually abused
More than just a black girl whose innocence has been removed and consumed….by another loser
Had I known the effect that this would have on my future I would have said something sooner
But where I am from I was brainwashed with the code of the street no snitching
Besides he threatened to harm my family so I sucked it up and stopped bitching
For almost three years I endured this constant rape this molestation
In which it finally stopped when at a young age I started my menstruation
Perfect Smile.
Broken Soul.
Bloody draws.
Freedom at last.
But I am more
More than just a black girl who’s been used and sexually abused
I am more….
I am more than just a satisfying fuck or a sidehoe or a mistress
While that may be what you feel about my mother, my sister or my cousin
Or that may be what you feel about my women ancestors
I know that’s what you feel when you hear lyrics such as “Bitches ain’t shit but hoes and tricks”
But i am here to end your social eclipse
And inform you that I am more than the width of my hips and softness of my lips
You depict me to be invisible until it is time for sex or kids
But If I open my mouth and inform you of my master’s degree God forbid
But I am more….
More than just a satisfying fuck or a sidehoe or a mistress
I am more…
I am more than just a dysfunctional bitch from a dysfunctional family in a dysfunctional relationship
I dare you to put your hands on me again for with a quickness I will beat your ass senseless though not with my physical power but mmmm can I get a witness?
Not with my physical power will i reign over you
But with my royalty and my ability to be resilient will I win this battle of a broken love
Because lord knows that I am sick of and tired of this void of and it is time that I let go of
Because now I know that
I am more.
More than just a dysfunctional bitch from a dysfunctional family in a dysfunctional relationship. I am more…..

You go girl! Speak it loud, speak it proud!
This poem spoke of triumph and spiritual defiance that is lacking in our world, one which I admire. It screamed pride amidst tragedy, and I'm so glad there are people like you out there who are willing to rise above their circumstances and be MORE.
As I said before, you go girl!
